Praise for The Last Dance and Other Stories: 'Victoria Hislop is a master at evoking a sense of place, and this collection of short stories inspired by Greece is no exception... At turns romantic and melancholic, these stories offer memorable portraits of ordinary Greek life' - Mail on SundayStunning... Intricate, beautifully observed and with a painter's eye for imagery, in these stories Hislop evokes Greece, its people, its customs and traditions with a sensitivity that reveals her deep knowledge of not just the place but also the human condition - ExpressLyrical, twisty short stories - Evening StandardBeguiling... Hislop resists the crude commercial temptation to home in on that crisis in too obvious detail. She focuses instead on stories of everyday crises... Her characters are utterly convincing and she has perfected her knack for describing everyday Greek life - Daily Mail
